I know how good Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man looks, but Sony has so much faith in the Spidey reboot that it's set a release date for the sequel even before the first film hits theaters. Deadline reports that the studio set the release date for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as May 2, 2014.

A Sony Exec revealed. "I think it speaks volumes about our confidence in what we are seeing on the new film and our desire to move quickly on the next installmentl." I think this will be a great way to kick off the summer of 2014.
